. reforming the tax code, not as easy but not as hard as medicare and medicaid. >> well, let me back you up for a second, because what really we face as we look at the long-term fiscal outlook in the u.s. is a three-part challenge. we know that we have entitlement programs on their currently trajectories are not sustainable. we know that we have a tax code that can almost surely be improved with various reforms and we also know that we have a set of expiring provisions in both the tax code and the budget sequester which starts in january of 2013 if nothing changes which creates a lot of turbulence in fiscal policy unless we do something about that. the real challenge for u.s. policymakers and it's going to be a big challenge after the election, i think, is to try to figure out a way to get through the near term without causing lots of disruption and that probably means trying to avoid going over the fiscal cliff, while at the same time beginning the challenge and process of long-term fiscal adjustments. when i suggest that social security's probably the easiest place to start, it's not some

and romney are arguing over who's going to spend more money on medicare when we need to have a raging debate and discussion in this country on how we slash medicare spending because if we don't, um, i believe that we're going to find ourselves in the midst of a monetary collapse as a result of continuing to borrow and spend money to the tune of 43 cents out of every dollar that we spend. >> host: so what are you seeing out there on that particular issue? what's your prescription, pardon the expression. >> guest: well, i oversaw the reform of medicaid in new mexico when i was governor of new mexico. we took it from a fee-for-service model to a managed care model. we saved hundreds of millions of dollars, we set up better health care networks for the poor in new mexico. i believe if the federal government would have block granted the state of new mexico 43% less money, done away with all the strings and the mandates that i could have effectively overseen the delivery of health care to the poor. i think you apply that same template to medicare, health care for those over 65, get the federal gov

on that. on medicare, the big entitlement spending issue that threatens the bunch the long term. mitt romney's proposed with paul ryan an ambitious reformation of the program that would go to voucher, but he hasn't said what the level of the voucher would be or the growth rate in the voucher. if you don't specify that, you can't specify what your savings will be or the impact on consumers. and finally president obama last year in the grand bargain talks with house speaker boehner talked about more ambitious proposals than medicare than he's advocated so far like raising the eligibility age from 65 to 67. hasn't said a word about that in the election campaign so far. you can expect the two to clash on that issue, as well. >> john, i know you've looked at some poll numbers from the journal and nbc news. maybe a slight tightening on a national level. but certainly in some important states like ohio, the president continues to lead. i know you've said the romney strategists believe they need ohio. if it's mathematically possible to win without it, why do they still believe they need it? >

in this country to look through every part of the budget. certainly major reform, in social security, medicare, medicaid, all fueled by the growth of health care costs and aging population. and on the tax side, we'll need more revenue and we should think about how to do take through a fundamental overhaul of the tax system. so the answer is some of everything. so the ways to do it could choke off economic recovery, but there are ways to do it that are smart that would help promote economic growth. the first step is not to go off the fiscal cliff, but also not to punt. instead replace that with the beginning of a sensible plan. we'll need to save $4 trillion to $5 trillion over the next part of of the year and we need to look at every part of the budget to do that. >> to not go off the cliff at the end of the year, what are the chances that after the election you tilly get some kind of agreement sni? i was speaking to john mccain and he said don't expect noticing happen. you seem to think something can happen. why? >> i wake up pretty much every day and i update my probabilities on how likely t

that since administrative costs are lower with medicare we should, the government should run our health care and it's like then we should have -- if you can just lower administrative and there's no innovation from the private sector, if there's no, you know, economies of scale and the competition makes you leaner and faster and better, if none of that were true everything would be cheaper if the government ran it. >> does it make you uncomfortable, joe, romney clearly has moved to the center here? >> i don't see that. i do not see that. >> i'm not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by the wealthy. >> et cetera' always said that. he has always said that. that's what you hear. >> the problem is that -- >> but then he said -- >> that is allowed -- >> he's coming back with 5 trillion. when you come back you prepared for with john kerry in the debate. the thing that worked when we were talking about the president always talks about investment as if it's a really good thing in terms of the government but when you look at how you try to pick things and don't let sort of capital be allocated by

of the things romney kept harping on last night was essentially cutting money out of medicare which we all know, in essence, is, in fact, reducing costs. and the only way we're ever going to solve our fiscal problems is reducing our health care costs. that is the key focus. so, you know, i think it's very difficult to articulate that in a sound bite. >> yeah. if you can survive being a health economist, you can survive about anything. austin, appreciate your time. >> that's the business. >> austin ligon, thanks so much. >>> let's go to mary thompson. >> we're looking at nuvasive, trading very active, ten times normal volume for the stock. the reason being the company cut its forecasts for third quarter revenue. now seeing revenue of 147 billion. the reason, the company says delays and more denials from insurance companies. take a look at that stock, off 33%. a number of analysts cutting ratings for nuvasive as well. back to you. >>> straight ahead, the nbc exclusive interview with mark zuckerbe zuckerberg. 1 billion users and their mobile devices. >>> and marriott's stock is having a great day
